In the US? Stream DARK SIDE OF THE 90'S here: bit.ly/DARKSIDEOFTHE90sYT
Love the Dark Side Series 🤙
Where can I access this content from the EU? Thanks.
Shark pond and electric fence?? Dude wanted to create the real life mortal kombat 😂😂😂😂
Imagine if that electric fence idea got greenlit...KOs, submissions, and human toast.
There is, it's name is Herb Dean
Or cardiac arrest
I just wanna say thank you to everyone involved in creating the UFC
Legendary Car Salesman Ads!
Good documentary, but you cut it short, could have at least said who won first tournament, and briefly say how UFC progressed from there.
You can watch the whole episode for free at the link in the first comment. I just watched it.
Otherwise take a look at Napoleon Blownapart content
How dare you end it that way the moment you guys actually make legit content like days of old 😂😂
….Because it is just a clip from the 2-part episode on the UFC from the series The Dark Side of the ‘90’s.
@@EvaFullwould you happen to remember what the episode is called ?
@@JavierNYC423 Dark Side of the ‘90’s : UFC Part 1 & 2
The story of how it started to where it is today is amazing. Allthough i really miss the old era. The different styles vs eachother is so cool. Now MMA is pretty much its own style.
I remember that first ufc pay per view. That was so cool to watch
that's cool, do you still watch UFC now?
I remember too. I had wrestled in high school and thought Royce's takedowns were absolutely horrible. I thought someone with a good clinch or sprawl could also box reasonably well would dominate these guys. A few years later ... Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell were using that exact strategy.
That is so insane how this all started in torrance lmao. I grew up here and redondo.
Still have the originals on VHS. The ones when PPV was $29.99
I miss the old school UFC with guys wearing wrestling singlets and judo gi's etc..
Art Jimmerson wore a boxing glove!
no u dont
it was stupid, like watching a goofy dragon ball tournament
Need longer video please
This was amazing. I love seeing a different look like this into the UFC. Great episode 👏
I sneak my corndogs into a buffet and then watch folks eat my corndogs thinking their from buffet
😂😂😂
Very American
@@Adz187 YASSSSSSS
That is delightfully devious
Lies again? Miami Birds Cage Fighter
Amazing love ufc every since day 1
This guys a great speaker
This should’ve been longer. I’m ready for the next episode
It is longer. This is just a small clip from the 2-Part 1hr long episodes on UFC from The Dark Side of the ‘90’s.
Art has a bunch of interviews on UA-cam if you want to look more into it.
6:46 and that man ... was Ken Shamrock!
So good
This definitely should have been longer
Where is the rest of this documentary?
Where’s the full video?
Well done. Hook it up with part two!
Lol right, "Part - 2 How I failed with the UFC, went broke and had to sell it to Dana White"
😂😂😂
This is just a clip from the full 2-part episode on the UFC from the series Dark Side of the ‘90’s.
@@EvaFull lol
Where can we find the whole thing ? @@EvaFull
@@miguelbravo1633 Vice TV App, Tubi, Hulu or Digital Store of Choice.
Nice seeing GF Team make an appearance!
part 2 coming?
Is there more to this video? It just cuts off right before revealing Royce’s opponent.
Damn! It's a pitty you're not available in EU. I'd pay to watch you documentaries.
Back when UFC was real.
What is that supposed to mean? The UFC fights of today are not scripted ( unless you got some receipts ). Sure you can say that the UFC does favor some fighters in some way like having the judges score the fight that goes the distance in favor for the more favorite fighter ( if the fight was close to call ), and having certain fighters not getting punished for feel drug test ( like Jon Jones with the whole picograms excuse ). But just because some fighters get favoritism based off of popularity, that does not mean the fighters still have a chance to win the fights.
@@25taylorkw UFC is fake, WWE is real.
Where is part 2?
UFC after 30 years is stronger than ever even though faces tough competition with Bellator MMA/PFL and ONE Championship
ONE Championship is so much bigger
@@HenryHardcorekinda like nfl, big in the USA barely around the world!😁
One championship is a better watch
@@HenryHardcoreno it’s not dude lmao, they bleed money every year
UFC is worth 12 billion dollars. Look up what one is worth lol@@HenryHardcore
This should start in a South Boston gym with Dana White
Where is the rest of it?
This video was so good
Moat, sharks, and an electric fence. This is amazing 😂
1:39 - dude, no-one is believing that hair colour... 🤦🏼♂️😂😂
Bring Back the OG UFC. Now Boxers vs. Wrestlers or Karate vs. Savate are not applicable anymore and it is very confusing!
Its gonna be part 2???? I want the whole thing.
OSSS!!
Osss!🤜🏾
Damn, they got their "hooks" on me with this first episode.
😂😂
Not a “1st episode”. This is just a clip from the 2-Part episode on the UFC from the series The Dark Side of the ‘90’s.
@@EvaFullWell the good news is I don't have to wait fora slow season to see the rest, the bad news is I'll need to go out and look for it. Thanks
@@BobKnight-mm2ze It should be available on either Hulu, Tubi or The Vice App/Website.
5:25 pirahnas could've done better,along with making great.Mortal Kombat stage fatalities...TO THE EXTREME 👍
whos the black haired guy fierri? someone tell him the gracies got jiu jitsu from japan.
Home
The 90s were the best.
UFC was awesome when it was still bareknuckle, no weight class, no rounds.
I feel so honored to train with 3rd generation gracie lineage
Is this actually based off a Vice show??
It’s just a clip from the series The Dark Side of the ‘90’s. This is from the 2-part episode on the UFC.
The only time vice has ever been good.
Anyone interested in more ufc history should watch “fighting in the age of loneliness”
Definitely a must watch
Little too left leaning for my taste but a good one nonetheless
It's crazy to think that MMA would be practically nonexistent in the world of sports without the UFC.
Shooto, RINGS, UWFi, Pancrase, PRIDE, and K1 >> UFC
Vice is the last people I would listen to talk about the UFC.
They had a lot of success talking about pro wrestling, so why not dig into MMA?
Can we please replace DC with Robin soon?
Yeah but now it’s figured out BJJ only has 1 champ currently in the UFC
Wrestling way better base for MMA anyway
Great a 3rd of an episode. Click bait Vice again
That’s what you call a “clip” aka “teaser” to possibly pose your interest on this subject. No different than a movie trailer.
Big mistake selling
Kung Fu v. Karate happened LONG before UFC.
Tayari Casel v. John Davis
Ok? That's one style vs style match. The UFC let anyone from any style compete. That's what made it unique.
@@khanofkhans6546 were they the same “style?”
😂 seriously the UFC is basically thai culture.
They had it long before anyone.
That's why the gracies were set up to to win ufc #1 lol
.
It’s too bad it was all a set up to make bjj look like the most supreme fighting style. All the competitors were no names and even if they knew grappling they weren’t allowed to use it. And a boxer with 1 glove lol. It was all a gimmick
Created it almost put ir under the rug within years. 😂
I thought the Gracies founded the UFC
First
And fighters still broke because Dana doesn't pay them enough
Pay the fighters better ffs
He hasn't been afiliated with the UFC for literally 30 years, you absolute nincompoop.
Not up to him
Watching a Gracie fight is crazy boring.
Started the UFC and this short story is all he got from it. 🙄 Vice used to be worth watching
No Gracie dominates anymore. They forgot to mention how it was scripted
I remember when Royce came back to the UFC and fought Matt Hughes under todays rules and Hughes dog walked Royce. I liked Hughes but it was a sad day for me because I had never seen Royce lose in the UFC. He lost bad that day. It’s a miracle he made it out of the octagon.
Mma has evolved.
No, it wasn't. No fighter of the time has claimed that.
Says who?
It was never scripted you 💩 🤡
Wow such a shame. what a massive L.
"How I Started the UFC" but didn't have the vision to make it what it is today.
Everything starts from somewhere. No Need to be so arrogant!!
New events, especially a completely new sport, take years to build up an audience. Do you think NBA was as big as it is from day one? No sport was massive from day one. You don't know what you are talking about.
He had the "vision" to create it and make it successful. Building on that is more about finance and marketing than "vision". I doubt you have created anything.
Oh shut up scrub
@@AnyoneCanSeenope u just don't know the history. Art was persistent on no holds barred fighting. It could never be big with those awful fights, would never get sanctioned. This was why art started another promotion cause he only wanted no holds barred fighting.
What does that matter? UFC of today is hugely different then the first UFC events. It's almost 2 completely different things. One was single style vs single style. Now it's guys training every element to be more complete as a fighter to have a better chance at winning. Without this original UFC we may not have had the UFC of the last 20 years.
I’m more impressed by Mark’s commercials & stunts…and in a suit 😝 🔥 🫡 💯🥋🤼 🥊 🦵🏼 👊🏼💥
We all know then octagon comes from Conan the Barbarian played by Arnold . Vice this is why I think you suck you guys want to manipulate stories
YAAAAWWWN 😮
